Why Bucharest is a great destination for bachelor parties

While organizing a bachelor party, the destination is definitely one of the most important details that you have to decide on. Ideally, you want the celebration party for your buddy’s dying days of singledom to be wild and forever remembered.

At least as long as you don’t end up with the stolen bones of a deinotherium in your hotel room and the groom doesn’t go missing for a worrying amount of time.

 

And although planning a bachelor party might seem like something you can't wait but start doing, usually, the reality is a little bit different. All that wild, crazy fun comes at a pretty high cost, and it can leave your bank account in tears. But that usually depends on the destination that you pick and the activities that you plan.

And while Bucharest might not have the crazy nightlife of Las Vegas or Amsterdam, it's still pretty great.

Oh, and you don’t have to break a bank to have fun.

 

Here's what you can do in Bucharest

Go crazy in a break room

Have you ever wished to just enter a room, grab a baseball bat or a crowbar, and start smashing stuff? Well, in Bucharest you can do just that, at the Break Room.

Some of the items that you can break include vases, porcelain trinkets, printers, TVs, phones, toilets, kitchen furniture, and more. And you can also bring your own stuff.

And by the way, you don’t even have to worry about safety equipment – you’ll receive safety goggles and clothes on the spot.

 

P.S. If you feel like a crowbar or a baseball bat are not quite your weapons of choice, you can never go wrong with a sledgehammer.

Visit the Romanian Kitsch Museum

The Romanian Kitsch Museum is “the best way of understanding Romanian (sub)culture”.

Located in the heart of Bucharest, the Kitsch Museum is a place where you can discover some of the most unusual, ugly, yet somehow amazing to look at Romanian items of decoration. From ridiculously artistic wall rugs to creative yet peculiar trinkets, the Kitsch Museum houses items that at some point in time simply couldn’t miss from any Romanian home.

 

P.S. Another great museum that you can visit is the "Grigore Antipa" Museum of Natural History. Just make sure not to take any of the deinotherium bones.

Practice your shooting skills

If you ever wished to go to a shooting range and test your pistol skills, now’s the time. The Tactical Shooting Range in Bucharest has a variety of pistols you can choose – from M1911 and Glock 17 to Colt King Cobra and Makarov.

The prices of the packages start from €30 for the Cadet Package and go as high as €70 for the Roni package. Besides the weapon and the ammunition, you will also receive one or two targets (depending on the package), 30 minutes to shoot your weapons, and the assistance of one of their trained professionals.
